Currently, manufacturing enterprises face increasingly fierce market competition due to the various demands of customers and rapid development economic globalization. Hence, they have extend their production mode into distributed environments establish multiple factories in geographical locations. Nowadays, systems been widely adopted industrial processes. In recent years, many studies done on ...

In this paper, a multi-product single machine scheduling problem with the possibility of producing defected jobs, is considered. We concern rework in the scheduling environment and propose a mixed-integer programming (MIP) model for the problem.  Based on the philosophy of just-in-time production, minimization of the sum of earliness and tardiness costs is taken into account as the objective fu...

data grid is an infrastructure that controls huge amount of data files, and provides intensive computational resources across geographically distributed collaboration. the heterogeneity and geographic dispersion of grid resources and applications place some complex problems such as job scheduling. most existing scheduling algorithms in grids only focus on one kind of grid jobs which can be data...

In this paper we describe an ontology for a model of manufacturing scheduling problems to be solved on the web, through several different scheduling methods made available by a web scheduling decision support system. This approach aims enabling to share scheduling knowledge and methods, in a globally distributed context, in order to facilitate solving these problems, either in the industry or i...
